First, about your taskbar problems, have you tried this?

Right-click the taskbar and select Properties.

Click the Taskbar tab (if it's not selected already).

Uncheck "Hide inactive icons".

Does this show your Volume Control now?

Click OK Click OK.

OR

If you prefer to have most of your icons hidden, but not the Volume Control do this instead.

Click Customize.

Scroll through the Current Items list and highlight Volume.

Select Always Show from the dropdown list.

Click OK Click OK.

Have you tried your ME recovery disk to see if Home upgrade will accept it?

Does HP have any suggestions?

Can you borrow a friend's 98 install disc? (I think it wrong the Microsoft doesn't accept 95 for upgrading).
